Is anyone else getting tired of "if you think that name sounds familiar"?
I swear, everyone drafted is related to someone who played in the NFL.

If a team loses a top-tier player to FA, they may get a compensatory (extra ) pick at the end of the 3rd rd. Not sure exactly how they measure it. Thought Cowboys would get one for losing Ronald Leary, for instance, to Denver

This is what I understand about the comp system.
You have to lose high value free agents AND bring in less FAs than you let leave. I am relatively sure breaking even is not good enough. If I remember correctly, not picking up a team option is considered letting a free agent leave. Resigning a person also doesn't effect the system one way or the other.
That's why, when you see a team lose a decent or better free agent, it's beyond dumb to sign meh backups and special teamers. If you lost say 1 big free agent, two good ones, and three mehs, you'd be in line for say a third, a sixth and a seventh for comps. If you then signed seven backups that had no chance of making the final roster, you receive nothing.
